About Mutirithia
Mutirithia is a Kikuyu word that means an old man walking slowly with a walking stick. This community is a more cosmopolitan area than other 410 Bridge communities.
People from many different regions of Kenya have relocated here. Multiple tribes, such as Maasai, Turkana, Samburu, and Kiukuyu, are represented in this area.
The Maasai culture is prevalent in this community. This culture includes much respect for the elders.
It also promotes discipline and respect in the society. For example, anyone can discipline a child when found doing wrong.
Mutirithia has partnered with 410 Bridge since 2019. Their major languages are Maasai and Swahili.

Sponsor the Community of Mutirithia
When you sponsor the Mutirithia community through 410 Bridge, you support programs and projects that allow the people to fix their own unique set of barriers. Every chance we get, we want to empower and lift up people to recognize that God has given them giftings and skills to move their communities forward to a better and more self-sustaining place.
Sponsoring the Mutirithia community, whether for $18, $23, $35, or more a month, allows for this to happen.

Why Come on a Mission Trip to Kenya?
A mission trip is not just a one-week experience to check a box. An intentional mission trip that is outcome-driven provides an opportunity to bring out Philippians 2:2-11 for the restoration of dignity and fulfilling purpose so that people can walk in freedom.
A mission trip, The 410 Way, is a catalyst that can propel us into action by changing our perspective of how we view the world, how we view our world.
Serving with Joy: A Week in Mutirithia, Kenya
If you haven’t yet had the opportunity to go on a mission trip to Kenya, allow me to do my best to try to put into words what an incredible life-changing experience that you really need to do at least once in your life.
I was recently blessed to travel to Mutirithia, Kenya with an amazing group of 20 other Christian men to serve the families in that community over the course of a week.
We prepared for weeks to make sure everyone understood the primary objective of the trip, which was to build upon relationships already formed in the community and to spread the Word to as many people as we could.
Allow me to unfold a day-by-day glimpse of what we experienced:
Dignity for Girls in Kenya
I work with the 410 Bridge under the Education Program as the Sponsorship Coordinator. In the Education Program we work with public schools in all our communities to give access to quality education to all school-age-going children.
We worked hard to make sure all the children in the community could regularly attend school, however, we noticed that girls were regularly absent each month.
Why Aren’t Girls Attending School?
